I pretty much have the best dad ever. Picture this... it's 3:00 am and you wake up to a knock at your bedroom door. Your *almost* 30 year old daughter comes in and tells you that she didn't quite make it to the toilet and threw up in the bathroom sink. The sink of course didn't drain. She didn't want to wake you up, but she didn't know what to do. And leaving vomit in the bathroom sink overnight was not a good option. Especially since 4 other people were using the bathroom she decided to defile.
Hey... in my defense... At least I made it to the bathroom! I was sleeping upstairs and this bathroom was downstairs. I didn't use one of the upstairs bathrooms because one is in my parents' bedroom and the other was being occupied by a sleeping 6 month old. You don't wake sleeping babies, even for that.
Back to the story. Without complaint, almost happily, you get out of bed and clean up the nastiness. Then you go back to bed, probably have a hard time going back to sleep, and get up at 5:00 am for an 11 hour work day.
Oh yeah. One more thing. Did I mention that it's your birthday?

Happy birthday, Dad! You are the best. I love you!
Also, a big thank you to my mom and sister for taking care of my girls, disinfecting every possible surface in the house, and buying me Gatorade.
***And NO, I am not pregnant, so don't ask. :-)***
